OnThisDayGaming marked 22 years since Halo 2’s North American Xbox release in a November 9, 2026 post, dating that debut to November 9, 2004. The calendar could have delivered that a little more gently. Source
The Game Awards also looked back at the Xbox launch, crediting Bungie as developer and Microsoft Game Studios as publisher.
